Baltimore Starlings Volleyball Club

The Baltimore Starlings Volleyball Club, an affiliate of the Starlings Volleyball Clubs, USA, provides an equal opportunity for girls from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds to train and compete at USA Volleyball's Junior Olympic level. Since 1999, the Baltimore Starling Volleyball Club has provided girls ages 12-18 from throughout Baltimore City the opportunity to join one of three teams through which they compete against club teams from other states and Maryland. The season runs from January through June and culminates at the Starlings National Championship held annually in San Diego, California.

The Baltimore Starlings Volleyball Club is an excellent opportunity for young women in Baltimore City to improve their athletic skills and compete at a higher level. Many participants simply could not afford the economic obligation to participate in club volleyball competition. As a result of having been exposed to club competition, some participants have been able to use volleyball as a vehicle to gain access to a college education. In an effort to help facilitate this process, the club monitors the academic progress of each participant to ensure they will be prepared for college entrance exams.

The Baltimore Starlings Volleyball Club is sponsored in partnership with the Starlings Volleyball Clubs, USA, and the Family League of Baltimore City.
